This is an old motel that has been remodeled into a hipster spot! The only drawback is it's close to the train track - thankfully not a crossing so no train horns, but you do hear trains roll by in the night if you are sensitive to noise.

Here me out. This is not a hotel, this is a motel. Yes, this is a historical property, but the photos do not support the 'updated' decor I thought it had. I can speak to my room on the 3rd floor, facing the train tracks. The bad: the textured wall paper walls were painted over. The carpet was similar to indoor/outdoor carpet (I wore socks or shoes at all times, and my socks were quite dark after 5 days). There is a gap under the door (install a door sweep, and that should take care of it). Rooms are not sound proof; you can hear you neighbors, you can hear people in the parking lot. Trains run 24/7 beside the hotel (60ft away), but they give you earplugs to sleep with. The shower head sprayed everywhere but my face (clean the head, remove the calcium build up). I ended up using a bath towel to block the door gap - to reduce cool air coming in, the smell of the old train that sat running overnight, and blocking out light. You are at the end of the downtown area and beside the tracks, so there are homeless people around. But I never once felt unsafe. The good: the bed was comfy, smart tv, fridge, and microwave. The bathroom was tiled and updated. They play either the Flintstones or the Jetsons on a section of the wall in the parking lot each night. Would I stay again? No. Was the cost of the room worth the offset of the not good? No. Would I recommend this place to anyone? No. Was I hoping for more of an industrial feel given the history of the steam plants? Yes.

It’s a decent for the price. Probably would be a bit more expensive if it wasn’t so close to the railroad tracks. The area around the stairs could definitely be better cleaned. The bed was only so so. The bathroom is very nice and clean.

With the elevated train tracks adjacent to the hotel, the Steam Plant Hotel can be a bit noisy. But, you eventually get used to the occasional rumble of the train, and they do provide free earplugs for those guests that may be bothered. This hotel is very close to all that downtown Spokane has to offer. Riverpark Mall is a couple blocks away, as are a number of great restaurants. The hotel also offers a complimentary breakfast at nearby Rosie's cafe. I would eat breakfast at Rosie's even if I didn't get a guest coupon. Enjoy your stay at the Steam Plant Hotel!!!
